OMIA:000562-9913 : Infertility in Bos taurus (taurine cattle)

In other species: dog , pig , sheep , dzo

Categories: Reproductive system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 123885 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: no

Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Inability to conceive. Has a wide variety of causes, some of which are at least partly genetic.

Markers: Arishima et al. (2017) "identified a maternal variant in the upstream region of FOXP3 [g.92,377,635A>G] that was associated with infertility in repeat-breeding Japanese Black cattle that failed to conceive using ET. The variant affected the level of FOXP3 mRNA expression. Thus, the results suggest that the risk-allele could serve as a useful marker to reduce and eliminate animals with inferior fertility in Japanese Black cattle."

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
